The last post was a mind burp. Its a part of a larger concept that I've been nurturing for quite a while, that being the idea of responsibility itself. It is, for the most part, a rather unpopular concept for a lot of people. We all admit to some responsibilities in our lives, to loved ones, friends, family, co-workers and others. Still others feel responsible to the state (any, it doesn't matter which), the community (local state, immediate reality only) or to a God image or religion (super-state, non-local). Yet in spite of all of this we loath to admit to, or positively support the idea of responsibility openly.


I personally believe that we are a species that only thrives when we "get religion" i.e; own up to and recognize a larger responsibility. I don't believe that we need to embellish upon the simple fact that "we" can only survive through common action, common goals and the common good. (ok, just a note: I AM NOt a ComMunIST, (sorry, it seems that every time I broach this subject that's the first thing that gets said, politely of course), If you think that anything that smacks of commonality is communism just try surviving on your own in Antarctica). The simple fact is that the more that we recognize and accept the fact that "we" the human race will only improve with greater levels of personal cooperation and responsibility, the better its gets. I realize that I'm getting a little opinionated, but well, it's a blog, right?
